Exactly. Kos has never been murdered in his career. Yeah GSP beat him convincingly twice but was never able to really put Kos in a position to end the fight. It's a shame. Josh is most certainly an egotistical p---ck but he could easily compete for the MW belt once Anderson's done if he actually used his wrestling. His double leg might be the best in MMA and his top game is solid. Just needs to stop trying to be such a boxer._________________

Kos gives up too much size to Wiedman. Also, 'shad and Machida might be MWs very soon. Just don't see it happening for him at MW. Also, he did get murdered by Alves, and Paulo Thiago got him pretty good as well. Still, he's growing underrated, especially after the Pierce fight.

Speaking of prospects, I think Wiedman could beat Anderson right now. The guy is the future of wrestling-meets-jitz. His striking still needs work, but he is dynamic with his submission attempts, and very few of them require giving up control. It's awesome._________________

He took the Alves fight on two weeks notice, and, let's face it, Kos beats Thiago 8-9 times out of 10. Not to mention it was a disputed stoppage.

I'd favor Weidman over Anderson as well. And, yeah, his positional BJJ is a thing of beauty. It's weird to think a purple belt is superior to a black belt, but that's definitely the case with Weidman and Anderson._________________

1. I'd be STUNNED if Shogun gets finished by Gus. Not calling you dumb for it or anything, but that's quite a bold prediction.

Well, I'm usually out there with my predictions and the last (only?) guy to finish Rua was Bones, which Gusty resembles a bit. Remember, I said TKO (which doesn't necessarily mean he's going to be out) by Gusty. I could see Shogun gassing and Gusty lighting him up until the ref is forced to stop it.

Probably not haha. LIS, I'm out there with my predictions. I could see BJ gassing and Rory taking him down and getting his back. Just depends on which BJ we see.

3. "Brutal KO?" Has Brown ever even been knocked out?

Nope but there's a first time for everything. I just like watching Swick fight and I almost always predict him to win via "Brutal KO." _________________

But he's getting MMA old. Machida, Jones, Hendo, and even Vera rocked him. Hendo had a phenomenal chin as well, but I think that is pretty much gone at this point. It happens to everybody, and I see signs of it in Shogun. Factor in how I see the striking match-up playing out, and I think a KO of some kind is a likely outcome._________________
